GraphQL tooling in Rust
summary
Apollo is building apollo-rs in Rust including a GraphQL compiler used for parsing, validation and tooling across Rover, the graph router and graphos; a live lint run with awccli reports four errors which are fixed interactively (duplicate fields, duplicate operation names, unnamed operation, missing type) showing immediate usefulness. The parser returns a partial AST plus errors because it is fault-tolerant and lossless, preserves tokens for precise diagnostics, and roadmaps include fuller validation, multi-file compilation and WASM-friendly APIs.
